Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Place butter, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in ground almonds and vanilla. Blend in flour gradually until well-combined.
Shape into balls (or crescents) using about 1 teaspoon for each cookie; place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until just browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
Let sit until slightly cooled, about 15 minutes. Roll cookies in remaining confectioners' sugar.
